Co-worker: Political adviser has emigrated (3)

An official in the general office of the Chaoyang district committee of the CPPCC said on Monday that Zhang's status as a political adviser remains unchanged.

"She didn't report to the consultative conference the fact that her hukou has been canceled," said the official on condition of anonymity. "We are still trying to contact her to confirm with her the change of nationality."

There are no written rules that say foreigners cannot be chosen as China's political advisers, he said.

However, Zhao Qizheng, director of the foreign affairs committee of the National Committee of the CPPCC, China's top advisory body, said in March that foreigners cannot become CPPCC members.

When asked whether there were some CPPCC members who had emigrated, Zhao said he had checked on those members who were said to have emigrated and found that none of them had.
